Interview Questions

Q:

Tell Me About Yourself ?

Answer

Tips for answering this question:


No matter what kind of job you’re after, you will be asked to talk about yourself in the interview. This allows the company to evaluate whether your professional and personal qualifications are suited to the job.


This is your opportunity to make a positive impression. It’s important that you spend the time talking about your qualifications and present yourself in a positive light.


Aviod repetition and practise


This should only take a few minutes, so you must be prepared to talk about yourself and your background without trying to say too much. It’s a very good idea to write down a few keywords and follow the points you’ve thought about in advance. This will help you to avoid repetition and include all of the important details.


Always remember to practise what you want to say. You may want to ask someone you know – your spouse, partner or a friend – if they’ll listen to what you intend to say. This will let you practise your presentation and assess how it sounds.


Use the template below for your preparation:


- A little bit about your personal life


     Where you live, About your family etc.


- Work experience


     Your education and training


     Which companies have you worked for?


- Your qualifications for this job


     Professional qualifications for the job


     Personal qualities in relation to job


Leave out stories about your former boss treating you badly ,Or that because of the heavy workload and poor working environment you were off sick for a prolonged period.


All of this may well be true and be a part of your background, but keep your eyes on the goal.Talk about the positives in terms of work experience, professional skills and human qualities.


After your presentation, the company will usually ask you some questions.

Q:

Explain the difference among the EXEC LINK, EXEC XCTL and Cobol II static call statements in CICS?

Answer

- Use a COBOL II CALL statement to invoke a subprogram. This method is transparent to CICS, which sees only the one load module. 


- EXEC LINK is similar to a call; it invokes a separate CICS program and ends with a RETURN to the invoking program


- EXEC XCTL which transfers control to another CICS program and does not get control 


back. 


COBOL II allows for static calls which are more efficient than the LINK instruction which establishes a new run-unit.

Q:

Which payment type can help you stick to a budget?

A) Payday loans B) Cash advances
C) Debit cards D) Credit cards
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Debit cards

Explanation:

There are two payment types that will help you stick to your budget.

1. Cash
2. Debit Card

The amount in the debit card is the only amount you can spend to stay within budget.

These method work because once you spend your money, you are done. You don’t have anything else to spend.

 

Credit cards, payday loans, and cash advances are all loans on future income. When you use a credit card, there is always just a little bit more you can spend. These types do not help you budget properly. In fact, these types encourage you to spend beyond your means and be out of budget.

Q:

Have you ever been in a situation where significant change was made to your team, department or organisation? How did you adjust?

Answer

The purpose of this question is to check your adaptability and flexibility. Did you feel victimized?


Answer this question by mentioning the change that was made but the main focus should be on how you adjusted in that situation and the results you achieved afterwards.


For example you can say something like, “Being an early joiner in the marketing team, I opened a lot of new customer accounts. Over the time the team grew and we had more people in the team opening more accounts. At one point of time, we had to re-distribute the accounts area wise so that a particular territory can be allotted to each one of us. This re-distribution meant loss of my high performing accounts and a requirement to develop new accounts in the assigned territory. Initially, it looked difficult but I could understand the need for this re-distribution and saw more opportunities for the company and myself. I introduced my colleagues to the old accounts I held and started strategizing for better ways to tap the new territory. Within 6 months, I could develop 50 new accounts with the help of new strategy. Usually we would achieve this result in 9 months to a year.”
